Was out the last few nights for squid and fluking during the day

Squid had been just ok this week. Not the savage bite of last week but it is still hold on

The water tempts are on the rise and we are seeing more life on the fluke grounds but still slower then normal. There is tons of bait everywhere and the fish just seems to not be interested

Still have some room for the upcoming weekend on all trips but there starting to fill

Conditions were terrible with the southwest but those who figured it out were treated

Buckets around the boat
There still here and we will be back next week

We made it to the fluke grounds on Friday and it was a decent despite 50 degree water

We were treated to fluke and sea bass and good showing of shorts
No trips Saturday

Tougher conditions with the ripping tide last night. Back of the boat and heavier sinkers were the way to go.

Some angler didn’t fair as well with the conditions but there still plenty around
Marked a ton of life all night

Back out tonight at 7pm

Windy conditions made things a little sporty on Friday, but we still managed some decent fluke and sea bass fishing!

The squid fishing was just okay overall, but the guys high-hooking had buckets filled by the end of the night. Some quality squid mixed in as well.

Looking forward to better weather and even better fishing ahead — reservations online at FrancesFleet.com

Back on the squid ground last night with a private group.

Fishing wasn’t as hot and Heavy as last Monday but it was close to home and a chip all night

High hooks had over a bucket

Keeping an eye on the weather this week and it seems like this pop of squid close to home is here to stay with the water temps

Was a great start to the Saturday before the wind came up yet again

We were on the fluke grounds in the water was a few degrees warm warmer warmer than last time but still a few degrees where it should be this time a year

We had a few keeper fluke in the good showing of shorts before the wind came up no trip tomorrow with the wind tonight and through the am

We were also out on the squid grounds close to home last night with a sold out crowd those who stuck at the rail and got dialed in had ok catch but very often it was last week The water was also about 48° so once we get to that 50° mark thing should break open
